2008 Honda Ridgeline - Ign Switch Swap No Start?

[michael]

Replaced the ign switch in a 08 Honda Ridgeline followed the instruction for radio code and clock truck will not start; what did I do?

Doesnt the key's transponder need to be coded for this vehicle? I would think it does being it's an 08

[michael]

Not sure, the old key was key and fob together, the replacement switch and lock does not and can I use my snap on to reprogram

[steven kiser]

Did you replace the lock cylinder or switch?

[michael]

Replaced both lock and switch

[ricmorin]

You need to program all the keys if you replaced the lock cylinder. Replacing just the switch requires no special programming other than what you've already done. You'll need a scanner capable of this and the pcm code along with ALL keys.

HTH.

Another point that may be overlooked is a remote starter. If it has one there may be a key reader in line with the old programmed key in it. If it does this will need replacement as well.

Just asked Mark here, who has a Ridgeline: see Ric's answer above.
